Wow... Natal.... or as known here in Mozambique, the family day..... hahah they need a lot of help.
But not a lot of time. Just a quick run down. We had a huge activity here in Maputo with all the missionaries. We got together one day and we played games and did some secret Santa and we ate a bunch of turkey and the other day we went to an orphanage and we helped out there with service and doing a lunch and talent show. I found out that I am getting transferred to Nacala. It's an area that president is opening this transfer as the church finally permitted that this area become a group. So hopefully I will be able to help the church grow in this part of Mozambique. Sounds like I will be training and I am super excited.
My best friend out here Elder Flitton went home and that was probably the hardest thing that has happened out here. I love Christ and I hope that we can all have a little more understanding about Christmas than just Family Day. It really is a day focused on Christ.
Love you all and I'm super sad to be leaving Elder Draney, but when the lord calls I follow.
-Love Elder Thornton
